RWA perps are on track to become foundational infrastructure for global retail derivatives access

A few structural shifts are starting to matter.

DWF Ventures breaks it down in the report here.

New Eyes on the Market is up. Sentiment has been quiet but the on-chain side told a different story.

The RWA market has reached new milestones, and the next phase is to make tokenized assets behave like actual financial instruments. In the meantime, on-chain identity becomes core infrastructure.

What did we get up to in March? Catch up with us 👇

1. Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner, published an op-ed in CoinDesk: "How DeFi is Quietly Rebuilding the Fixed-Income Stack for Institutional Capital". He covered what it takes for tokenized assets to transition to institutionally-adopted financial instruments. Read more here.

2. Grachev also went live on Cointelegraph's #CHAINREACTION, covering our investment strategies, how we support projects, the RWA market, and more. Watch the full interview here.

3. He was also featured in the Hong Kong Economic Journal, discussing what separates tokenization hype from real infrastructure.

4. The market faced a real stress test in March. We published Volume 8 of our research series Eyes on the Market covering what happened, and the underlying market structure that's telling the full story.

5. DWF Ventures made the case for South Korea as a major stablecoin opportunity: 18M+ digital asset holders, 98% digital payment adoption, and a persistent "Kimchi Premium" in digital asset trading prices.

6. We published a deep dive on DeFi lending, one of the most significant sectors in the DeFi market. The architecture is evolving from scale-first to precision-first.

7. Perp DEXs are becoming some of the most economically productive infrastructure in DeFi. We broke down the thesis, with Hyperliquid as a case study.

8. We released the GTM Playbook for Web3, covering the distinct GTM motions crypto projects need to match to their product, users, and distribution to win in 2026.

9. Artem Tolkachev, Chief RWA Officer at Falcon Finance, published an op-ed in FinTech Weekly about what comes next for RWAs after regulatory clarity and how the structure can be built. Read more here.

Building never stops. See you in April 🤝

Too many tokens launch with no revenue, users, or use cases behind them.

DWF Ventures research shows that Base has a different approach. Before even hinting at a token launch, the team accomplished:

→ $78.2M in network revenue
→ Capturing the majority of all L2 weekly revenue in 2025
→ 45% increase in TVL from last year
→ A thriving ecosystem

This is what a potential token launch should look like: product, traction, and value first.

What actually drives Web3 growth in 2026?

Crypto GTM spans several distinct motions. What distinguishes projects is matching the right path to products, users, and distribution.

Why is South Korea such a big deal for crypto? DWF Ventures explores👇

👉 Historically, South Korea has been accepting of emerging technologies, adopting an "innovation-first" mindset

👉 Younger generations have started to prefer higher risk/reward assets and strategies in the short term, which includes digital assets

The demand can be seen in the "Kimchi Premium", with BTC trading 5-10% above global prices on Korean exchanges for extended periods.

With digital payments already reaching 98% of the population, the case for a KRW stablecoin grows.

Tokenization is just the starting line, not the destination.
